Saturday Sharing: My Opinion on Why Women Need to Lift Weights

November 15, 2014 By Michael Mahony, ISSA CPT Leave a Comment

women need to lift weights

Women need to lift weights. There really should be no argument about this. The problem is that women think they will be “huge” if they lift weights and that is simply not true. Size gains are based upon the workouts done. In some cases it is based upon drugs that are taken. This is all something the individual controls.

Weight training has many benefits. It helps with fat loss by increasing lean body mass. This is another reason why women need to lift weights. Every woman I've ever met wants to be thinner. They all claim that they want to “tone up” but what does that really mean? It means women need to lift weights.

Come on ladies! You know I am right. Having more muscle doesn't mean you will be bigger. In most cases you will be tighter which will make you look smaller. It is the truth. Women need to lift weights.

Getting large involves lifting very heavy weights. In some cases it means taking drugs. Are you going to do that ladies? Probably not. If you are it means you want to be bigger. However, lifting weights alone isn't going to make that happen.

Women want to tone up? Women need to lift weights!

Women want to thin out? Women need to lift weights!

Women want to lose weight? Women need to lift weights!

It really is a simple concept that should no longer be argued with. Get in the gym ladies and move some iron. I am sure you enjoy your TKB class, but that alone isn't going to get you where you want to be. Those lean and toned muscles are waiting for you. You just need to move some iron.
